The Insights Network
A community of Austin business owners who are serious about publishing newsletters — and building the relationships, habits, and momentum that make them pay off.
$5,000+ in annual value
$2,500 per year
Join The Network — $2,500/yrPublishing a newsletter is lonely work — until it isn’t. The Insights Network is where serious operators show up, swap ideas, get expert access, and stay accountable week after week.
You get a private community, live office hours, guest experts from my network, and in-person writing sessions every Friday. It’s built for founders who don’t just want to consume advice — they want to ship, grow, and compound.
What members get
01
Online Community
Members get access to a Slack group where you can ask questions, share ideas, and see what others are building.
02
Guest Experts
I tap my personal network — authors, founders, and industry experts — to join us for detailed Q&As.
03
Regular Office Hours
The second and fourth Tuesday of each month, bring your questions to group office hours where we can discuss them live.
04
In-Person Events
Every Friday, I host “Content & Contraband,” a chance to catch up with peers IRL while getting two dedicated focus-hours of work done on writing.
Why $2,500?
Between the community, expert access, monthly office hours, and weekly in-person sessions, you’re getting well over $5,000 in value — coaching, accountability, and relationships you can’t buy off a shelf.
Membership is priced at $2,500 per year because the goal is a room full of committed operators, not a massive audience of lurkers. If you’re publishing — or ready to publish seriously — this is your people.
About your instructor…
My name’s Ethan Brooks. I’m the owner of The Austin Business Review. I’ve been building content and communities for business owners for years.
Prior to ABR, I was the first content & community hire at Hampton, and before that, I spent years writing at The Hustle, one of the biggest newsletter companies in the US. While there, part of my job was to research and write this book on how newsletter companies work and I've been hooked ever since. Newsletters and business are my obsessions, plain and simple.
